Classes are modeled using a single rectangular shape with three internal compartments: the name, attribute, and operation.

The name compartment holds the class name, an optional stereotype, and optional properties. The name is located in the center of the compartment. The stereotype (<< >>) may be used to limit the role of the class in the model, and is placed at the top of the compartment. Common examples of class stereotypes include <<Factory>>, based on the Factory design pattern, and <<Interface>>, for Java interfaces or for user interfaces.
Properties use the constraint notation and are placed in the bottom-right corner of the compartment. Properties are basically constraints, used to clarify intent in defining the model element. Properties can be used to document the status of a class under development or for designations such as 'abstract' and 'concrete.'

A Class is an outline for an item. Items and classes remain forever inseparable. We cannot discuss one without discussing the other. Furthermore, the whole mark of Article Arranged Plan isn't about objects, it's about classes, since we use classes to make objects. So a class depicts what an article will be, yet it isn't the actual item.
As a matter of fact, classes portray the kind of items, while objects are usable occurrences of classes. Each Item was worked from similar arrangement of outlines and hence contains similar parts (properties and strategies). The standard significance is that an item is an occasion of a class and item - Articles have states and ways of behaving.

The attribute compartment simply lists the attributes of the class using the notation you learned previously. The list order does not matter.

Likewise, operations are simply listed in the operation compartment using the notation you learned in the previous lesson. The list order does not matter.
